Base at home and mobil in the work van, nothing in the personal car. I like to rag chew with the locals 95% of the time shoot skip olny a little. Use the mobil to keep me alert in the van.
How you mount the antenna can make or break the installation and leave you either wondering if you've set fire to your money or completely blown away by what you can achieve.
If you do any of the following:
1) Use mirror arm brackets
2) Have the antenna mounted very low on the vehicle
3) Have any of the antenna shadowed by the body
...you'll think you've set fire to your money.
However if you put the antenna in the center of the roof of the vehicle or as high as you can with as much metal as you can under the antenna, preferably with a permanent fixed mount, and do a bit of bonding and you'll be amazed how far you'll get.
